      Below is my reply to a follower on my blog asking about feathercoin. If you take the time to read my reply, please correct me or offer your opinions. I’d like it to be accurate, with as much information as possible; before it is reblogged. So if you disagree or find any errors, please let me know!

        None of the updates so far have been mandatory although I would always recommend people to upgrade. The next update will be mandatory. We are updating the client for Feathercoin. Nothing will be lost in the process and all your hard work will stand. I am working all the hours in the day to make this project work for everyone. After this update there should be no new updates until the community decides upon new features.

        For what it is worth we got a small mention in the article below :)

          Good article. I’m glad that you understand what we are trying to do here. This solution could be very useful to many of the other coins out there.

            Sorry, I just checked the responses to my post yesterday. That may have come across wrong…I was really frustrated…still am! I’ve been putting much of my own effort into mining FTC with the faith that it will pay off in the end. However, it has so far returned very little. I couldn’t even connect a miner for about 2-3 days last week and became convinced the whole coin just vanished after hitting the exchanges.

            Trying to keep up with things, but it’s difficult for someone who doesn’t have a lot of free time to put into keeping up. I just downloaded the new client 2 days ago and now being told another one will need to be downloaded…it’s a lot to try and keep up on.

            Now there’s going to be a “hard fork”? Which sounds to me like my previously mined coins will become worthless and a new one is being introduced under the same name.

            I don’t know…maybe trying to help out with a new coin is better left to those with more free time to invest. I can’t seem to keep up with all the changes and news being announced. It’s quite frustrating and I totally see why people have their doubts about new coins. Hell, I’ve had a hard enough time just trying to keep track of where everyone is…this is the 3rd forum I’ve tracked FTC through.

            EDIT:

            Did I mention that several days worth of mining efforts were stolen by the pool I was mining in? Is it really any wonder why I’m irritated with FTC? I jumped on board full-throttle when I first heard about it and since that day it’s been nothing but one disaster after another. First the pool steals my FTC, then can’t connect to anything with my miners, then the value of the coin plummets to near nothing…plus the “community” seems to move to a different forum as soon as I catch up to it at the previous one.

            Let’s just say that FTC hasn’t been the most “user friendly” coin I’ve invested in.

            #1: You can trust give-me-ftc.com I bought my 5970 that I’m selling here from the owner of give-me-ltc.com (same person).
            #2: Bitcointalk is not a great place for altcoins, too many Smeagols.
            #3: Low starting difficulty will cause huge problems.
            #4: A hard fork is a software fork. Not a new blockchain. A cold fork is a complete reboot. We are not doing that.

            Also 500 FTC would look nice in my wallet: 6r4SwvvkLTiic8EohobVGz66rXqoa6B8Xs. (just teasing)

              I’m not sure I understand, but I can repeat the terms pretty well, sometimes. lel

              Thanks for the feedback and I look forward to reporting on feathercoin’s progress!

                    I have approx. 250 khash dedicated 24 hours/day and an additional 200 12 hours/day to keep FTC alive until it’s next iteration. I’ve had to bounce between the give-me-ftc pool and the wemineftc pool as I occasionally lose connection with one of them or the other. I only wish I could dedicate 15 mhash (yes MEGA hash) like nutnut does. Man, I’d like to take a look at his rigs.

                    Edit: A question… Does anyone know if it’s more efficient to work multiple GPU’s (in the same computer) under the same worker or is it better to have each GPU on it’s own worker?

                      Antedeus - give http://www.fcpool.com/ a try. been pretty solid so far and quick to be fixed when things break. it has idle worker notifications and more 8)

                      as for the GPU question, i seperate my rigs into individual workers. That way when one goes idle and i get the notification, i know exactly which one to smack around or that my wife has found the miner running on her comp again ;D

                        LOL, my wife turns cgminer off on her comp all the time. It’s her dialy use, so no biggie. But she forgets to relaunch it when she is done. I wouldn’t care but her PC pulls 1200 kh/s.

                              I have to say, I was really touched by this plea. I have no idea why. :)

                              I don’t have many GPU’s, but I’ll put one over to the cause, and if things are heading in the right direction, I’ll put the couple more I have over.

                              For now, 260kh from a 5830 on it’s way to give-me-ftc. Thanks for posting this, and appreciate the quality of the conversation here :)
